German slalom star Felix Neureuther will miss the rest of the season, including the Olympics, after tearing his left ACL in training, according to his social media and the German ski federation.
Neureuther, 33, earned slalom medals at the last three world championships and won the season-opening slalom in Finland two weeks ago.
He was an Olympic medal contender, along with Austrian Marcel Hirscher and Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen.
Neureuther, the son of an Olympic champion and a three-time Olympian, has had terrible Olympic luck.
He failed to finish four of his six races among 2006, 2010 and 2014 and was eighth in the two events he did finish.
